    88-89 bumper lights mount up to 87 front bumper?

    ok, the 88-89 accords have the really nice clear front bumper lights whereas the 86-87's have the ugly orange cover ones. is it a simple swap to put the newer lights in or is it a complete bumper swap needed?

    I believe you need to swap the bumper because the two types of lights mount differently. A bumper swap is easy though, and i agree the 88-89 lights look a lot better.

    The 88/9 are larger lights. I personally like the 86/7 bumpers and trim better.
